WASHINGTON, AUGUST Of, 1887.

THE GRASD ARMY men at Wheeling
who yesterday refused to pass under a
portrait Of President Cleveland sus.
pended across the street, exhibited u
narrow.mlndcd and malicious spirit, In
which It would be very difficult to de-
tect trace of patriotism, and which, II
we are 10 worse mistaken than ever
before in a political prognoslication,
they will have serious cause to regret
II the oil soldiers acted In this m liter
on their own volIllou they should make
haste and amcni such folly II they
were acting under the instruction, o;
Governor Foraker or Governor B BiAver,
or any ,tler rank partisan, they are to
he piled for having fallen under such
In eful influences II is certainly not
In this way that the Grand Army can
expect to commend itself TO the respect
OF the American people or TO the
favorable consideration of either party
in Congress. Such conduct not only
belittles the organization, but affects
indlrectly-4we need not say iniuriou.ly
the interests of all the old soldiers of
the Republic-especinlly those who are
looking to the Government for further
bounty. Depend upon 1t, no measures
OF relief will ever get through Congress
again in behalf of men who thus pr.
sistently indulge in studied insult to
the President Of the United States. 1t
is not brave, but cowardly; 1t is not
sensible, but frivolous; 1t Is not decent,
but contemptiblej 1t is not worthy OF
men who have borne herolcally the
heats of the battle e.feld, but charac er'
istic rather of camp followers and
moroenarles; 1t inflicts no harm upon
the Administration, but wins for 1t In
creased confidence and large measure
Of public sympathy.

THE parishloners of st. Stephens
Church, New York, who uphold their
deposed pastor, Rev. Dir. McGlynn,
held picnic at Jones Woods yester.
day, The Doctor was present and made
quite speech, In the course Of which
he said that "if Chi tshoull appear on
the earth again and should approach
the marble palace or The back stairs of
the Vatican he would be elected or
arrested as tramp" If the reverend
gentleman is really of this oplnion It
will he generally conceded thot his eX

4,772 500. and of the monthlies per year
72,609, 900. The daily issue is equiva-

of all the families of the country with a

100000 surplus subscriptions to be dl
yided among those who take more than
one weekly paper; while the issue Of
1890, 900 monthlies Is nearly sufficient
